Seventh International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education

Strand V: Teachers, Administrators, Preparation and Professional Learning

Immersion

All

This workshop focuses on how a cross-curricular team approach to supporting dual language/immersion (DL/I) can work at the state, district or program level. Come and learn about how team members from English as a Second Language (ESL), federal programs, global education, K-3 literacy, special education, world languages, and other areas have worked collaboratively to create a state-level team in North Carolina. The NC DL/I Team coordinates a menu of blended professional development and networking opportunities for DL/I administrators and teachers, a communications strategy that showcases new and expanding DL/I programs, and an ongoing structure of supports for all DL/I programs across the state. A number of partnerships and resources will be shared, and time will be spent on action plans that workshop participants can use to pull together their own team approach locally.
